Default Help me on wrinkled dashboard for 991.1 (2012)


Most of people say no way to fix and rather replace upholstery and cost 8000. That is too much for me.Please give me the guide.

I’d use a small needle and put a very small ***** in the leather to get the air out then press it back down. Perhaps inject some glue to keep it down

Default I used a company called just dashes

20 years ago to redo a dash in a 928. Back then it was $800. Not sure today. That or a used one seems a better option it does not look fixable to my untrained eye. Leather or vinyl ?

You need to talk to PCNA about some relief and a fix. That is unacceptable, even on a 2012 vehicle. Should never happen!

That's a full leather dash. Wow, that really sucks! How long has this been going on? I would imagine it has slowly been getting worse for years? Is the car parked in the sun a lot? Definitely not acceptable but getting PCNA to do anything is going to be a long shot but certainly worth a try. Good luck.

+1. can probably inject some glue with a syringe with a larger needle gauge.

You should at least call Pedro’s Garage and ask them about this. They fix warped door panels. I sent mine to him and they do excellent work. He may have experience with this or know somewhere that does, and may at least have some advice about it.
